Rock widow Priscilla Presley delivered a heartfelt speech to parents on
Saturday (20SEP03) warning them to be aware of their children's exposure to
alcohol and drugs.

The 58-year old star told an Oklahoma City audience that her experience of
trying to support husband ELVIS and daughter Lisa Marie as they struggled
through addiction have convinced her that education is the only way to combat
the problem.

She said: "Throughout my life, I've had the heartbreaking experiences of
family and friends fall the victim of alcohol and drugs.

"I have a 16-year-old son so I'm around teenagers a lot and I see what
they're going through. More than half of our nation's youth have tried illegal
drugs before they finish high school."
